RE: yellow leaves on hibiscus

Hi nihal, Your picture does not look like the hibiscus leaf I know, but assuming it is a hibiscus or for that matter most plants lose leaf like this at some stage, I'd say natural cycle of life. Always some leaf drop occurs. If not, can get worse when plant is under stress, say hot weather or rain over an extended period where food gets leached from soil or needs a feed. They are gross feeders so if you don't feed enough the new growth sucks life from old leaves so new growth can occur, they old leaves turn yellow and drop.
Good luck, Brian Kerr.
